Congratulations, you have discovered the ultimate earthing shoe! These shoes are constructed from all natural materials starting with a water buffalo leather sole, a high-quality cowhide upper, and beeswax cotton twine sole-to-upper threading.

What makes these shoes so special is the durable leather sole which allows for a grounding effect across the entire bottom of the foot (unlike a rubber and synthetic sole) and then the copper plug installed at the K1 meridian point further enhances the grounding an energy harmonizing effect.

These shoes are built with a wide toe box for natural toe splay and are "minimalist" with zero foam cushioning or toe-drop. The magic of the water buffalo sole is not only is it extremely durable, because it is a natural material it will over time mold itself to the shape of your foot, providing maximum comfort and support while encouraging natural gait mechanics. These shoes are perfect for those who cherish natural movement! The natural water buffalo sole is a tad slick when new so please be careful, and after a bit of use the leather wears in and traction greatly improves (but will still be less than a rubber sole, it's a tradeoff).

*the shoe color in the photos is the "natural brown" color option. The piece of leather used for "natural brown" in the color comparison is from the lower skirt of leather whereas the shoe is made from the upper skirt and stretched in the process, hence the slight visual differences.

What is Earthing you ask? Earthing is the wellness practice of harmonizing your biorhythms and energies to those of the Earth in order to improve your health, longevity, and consciousness. The primary way to practice Earthing is through grounding - establishing a conductive connection between yourself and the Earth - which equalizes your electric potential to the Earth by replenishing your body with free electrons. Free electrons are needed for many reasons, one of the most important being to combat excessive free radical activity. More than just replenishing your bodies store of free electrons, grounding also brings you into resonance with the frequencies of the Earth which optimizes all biologic functions. There also appears to be a link between longevity and staying grounded to the Earth, as the longest lived animals (overall or in their class) on Earth are the ones grounded 24/7 like whales, turtles, sharks, and honorary mention to the naked mole rat - who live 10x longer than normal rats (30 yrs vs 3 yrs).

Please note that the bottoms of these shoes are initially slippery because of the water buffalo leather, but with a little bit of use the leather naturally roughens up and greatly increases in traction. Still please keep in mind that the traction won't be as great as that of rubber, but the benefit is that the entire footbed is conductive and the soles last longer.

My friend Laura who you see modeling these shoes in the photo said they "feel like warm hugs". She is also an energy-sensitive 500 hour yoga certified reiki healer and she said she felt the "shift" and the harmonizing earthing effect almost instantly upon putting on the shoes. And that was with the new pair of shoes! After a few days of wearing the shoes the connection between you and the Earth while wearing them is even stronger.
